Miranda's Dixons-era 35mm compact — fixed 34mm f/4.5 lens, built-in flash, runs on two AA batteries.
The Miranda SF-Z was a 35mm point-and-shoot compact sold under the Miranda name, the badge UK retailer Dixons applied to its own-brand cameras from the mid-1980s after the original Japanese SLR maker ceased trading. It sat at the entry level of the Dixons-era compact range alongside models such as the FM-Z, aimed at casual family photographers.
Published documentation is scarce. Retailer listings describe a fixed 34mm f/4.5 lens with a built-in flash, power from two AA batteries, and standard 35mm film loading. Some examples carry DX badging, indicating DX film-speed coding. Shutter and exposure details are not recorded in the usual reference sources, so they are omitted here.
As a simple wide-ish fixed-lens compact it suits beginners and anyone wanting a cheap, no-decisions camera for daylight snapshots and casual street shooting. The 34mm focal length is versatile for groups and scenes, though the modest f/4.5 aperture and basic flash limit it indoors and in low light.
On the used market these sell cheaply and often untested. Check that the camera powers up on fresh AA cells, that the flash charges and fires, and that the film advance operates. Inspect the battery compartment for corrosion and the back door for light-seal decay; with no published service documentation, faulty examples are rarely worth repairing.
